i can't really see any use in the block ui script.

1. it makes the frontend feel slower, and blocks content for nothing because reclicking a button shouldn't do any harm to a stable programmed code.

2. it is not fully stylable through css as it is implemented now

3. especially the paypal blockui message is not very well thought out:

- first it isn't centered and most people won't read it if you have a long page. you need to scroll down to see the message.
- and most importantly: this payment page is not needed. after clicking on submit order the user should be immediately redirected to paypal without seeing the payment page with a blockui message.

if you just want to show an ajax progress why not adding a simple loader icon?
